Chiropractic Care for Kids

Children can benefit from chiropractic care just like adults—often even more so because their bodies are still developing. From infants to teenagers, gentle adjustments help support healthy development and address common childhood issues naturally.

Why Kids Need Chiropractic Care

  • Birth trauma can cause subtle misalignments
  • Falls and tumbles during play
  • Heavy backpacks strain growing spines
  • Screen time posture problems
  • Sports injuries

Conditions We Help With

  • Colic and reflux in infants
  • Ear infections
  • Growing pains
  • Posture problems
  • Headaches in children

Gentle, Kid-Friendly Adjustments

Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are nothing like adult adjustments. We use extremely gentle techniques appropriate for each child's age and size. For infants, we use no more pressure than you'd use to test a ripe tomato.

Infant Care (0-12 months)

Ultra-gentle fingertip adjustments for newborns and babies. Helps with colic, feeding difficulties, sleep issues, and birth-related stress.

Toddler Care (1-4 years)

Light-pressure adjustments as your child learns to walk, run, and climb. Addresses falls, posture, and developmental milestones.

School-Age Care (5-12 years)

Addresses backpack strain, sports injuries, growing pains, and posture problems from sitting at desks and screens.

Teen Care (13-17 years)

Sports injury treatment, posture correction, headache relief, and support through growth spurts and physical changes.

A Family-Friendly Practice

We welcome the whole family. Many parents bring their children for regular checkups while getting their own adjustments. Creating healthy habits early sets kids up for a lifetime of wellness.

Pediatric Chiropractic FAQs

Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children?

Yes, pediatric chiropractic care is very safe when performed by an experienced chiropractor. Adjustments for children are extremely gentle—using no more pressure than you'd use to test a ripe tomato. Dr. Mayfield has 31+ years of experience treating children of all ages.

At what age can a child see a chiropractor?

Children can be seen by a chiropractor at any age, including newborns. Many parents bring infants in shortly after birth, especially if there were complications during delivery. Gentle adjustments can help with colic, feeding difficulties, and sleep issues in babies.

Why would a child need chiropractic care?

Children experience many physical stresses: birth trauma, learning to walk, falls during play, heavy backpacks, sports activities, and hours hunched over screens. These can cause spinal misalignments that affect their developing bodies. Regular checkups help ensure healthy development.

Does my child's insurance cover chiropractic care?

Most health insurance plans that cover chiropractic care include coverage for children. Many family plans cover the whole family under the same policy. We verify your child's benefits before their first visit.
